All the images are stored inside a volume whose size is limited to 100GB. You can check available space:
Copy code
$ rdctl shell df -h /var/lib
Filesystem                Size      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/disk/by-label/data-volume
                         97.9G    414.7M     92.5G   0% /mnt/data
If you are using moby, you can check for reclaimable space (e.g. from buildkit caches) with
docker system df
and use
docker system prune
to clean up some stuff.

Ah ok, Is it possible to expand the volume?

Yes, but you must make sure that Rancher Desktop is not running while you resize the fle. Run
ps -ef|grep qemu-system
to make sure the QEMU process is not running. Then you can run something like
Copy code
/Applications/Rancher\ <http://Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/resources/darwin/lima/bin/qemu-img|Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/resources/darwin/lima/bin/qemu-img> resize "$HOME/Library/Application Support/rancher-desktop/lima/0/diffdisk" +10G
To increase the size of the volume by 10GB. Make sure you get the quoting correct, as the paths include spaces...
Note that the volume is a sparse file, so any additional space is not allocated right away, but on demand. If you don't have any space left on the host volume at that time, then "bad things will happen"™
